On the first day of this 'Summer Special Promotion' event, the most popular game is "Battle Royale"...
This is the game that sells the most.
I can only say that it is more interesting than a stand-alone game.
Players are still more interested in this masterpiece, which has exploded in popularity overseas and has now been reduced in price.
Lin Yao is mentally prepared for this. After all, it is normal for top games to get more traffic.
This can be considered a good thing.
After all, they are all Linmu Studio’s games.
And compared to a stand-alone game, "Battle Royale" can continue to bring income to Linmu Studio in the future.
It can only be said that the moment "Battle Royale" topped the sales list, Linmu Studio had no losses.
certainly.
Lin Yao still hopes that one or two of the eight new games launched by Linmu Studio will be successful.
However, on the first day, the limelight was indeed stolen by "Battle Royale", and there was not much discussion about the eight new games for the time being.
The only one that can barely compete with "Battle Royale" is "Shadow".
But the discussion of “Shadows”…
It is really difficult for people to have an optimistic attitude...
"This is too much...I won't play anymore, it's so scary."
"I couldn't attack, I could only be scared over and over again. I felt like cannon fodder in a horror movie."
"I don't even want to play with fifty cents anymore."
"There's no skill in it, it's all malice."
"ah……"
Like Du Kaiding, there are many players who don't have many B numbers.
This can be seen from the clearance rate.
The game has scared off many players.
The first day of the promotion.
It ended with the huge sales of "Battle Royale".
July 11th.
the next day.
The top spot of "Battle Royale" remains unshakable.
But things have changed a little.
First, the game called "Plants vs. Zombies" surpassed two games born from the Greenlight Project and ranked third on the best-selling list.
Another game "Sword and Knife" also ranked fourth on the best-selling list.
The top four in the rankings have all become Linmu Studio’s own games.
at the same time.
The first live video of clearing "Shadow" was uploaded to the largest video website in China.
The uploader said it was quite funny.
It's Mou Feng...
Yes.
Mou Feng.
Although he is very good at playing FPS games, he is very good at playing FPS games.
But he is really courageous and very talented at playing decryption games.
Linmu Studio has just opened its summer promotion, and he has also purchased several new games, but unlike Du Kaiding, he has finished "Shadow" directly.
Even though my palms get sweaty while playing.
But the more he played, the more he got into trouble.
And this time he uploaded a gameplay video, which was also an attempt.
He saw many people saying on the forum that they couldn't play the game, so he wanted to take advantage of it.
As someone who has always looked forward to Linmu Studio making a stand-alone game.
Mou Feng feels that this game is simply a masterpiece among masterpieces! How could it be buried?
Mou Feng uploaded the game live in the mood of sharing Amway.
Originally, he didn't have much expectations for the number of views.
More for the purpose of sharing.
But what he didn't expect was.
There were...a lot of people watching.
Although many players cannot play "Shadow", they can still watch it. In addition, due to promotions and forum discussions, this game has become famous.
Many people learned that someone had uploaded a video of completing the level.
I immediately ran to see it, wanting to know which warrior it was.
Then... the audience experienced the feeling of watching a horror movie.
The process of "Shadow" is very short, and with the decryption element included, it only takes about an hour.
If you work quickly, it can be done in thirty or forty minutes.
But in this short process of about an hour, players gained a new understanding of the word scary.
Because Lin Yao mixed many classic elements from previous horror films in this game...
"Holy shit, protect your body!"
"It's really you, Linmu Studio. In order to scare the players, they resorted to this method. There was a child inside the cabinet, and he stared directly at the players. At that moment, I felt like my heart stopped while watching the video...
…”
"The most terrifying thing is the scene where the protagonist picks up the photo of his wife and daughter, and then just puts it down, and the wife appears at the end of the corridor. I originally thought that this would shock the player and it would be over, but I didn't expect that the wife turned over and quickly fell onto all fours.
Climbing towards the protagonist, the feeling of oppression was outrageous! I turned off the computer directly, I was just watching, if you play, you can imagine how scary it is..."
"Fortunately, I didn't play it...the more you go to the back, the more malicious you become. It's clear that the scene only has one house, but every time the protagonist thinks of something, it changes. There are two worlds, the outside and the inside. I really belong to you, Lin Yao."
"I feel that the protagonist deserves it... He is not sure if he was cheated, so he killed his wife and children. He deserves it. In the end, he walked into the fog, which should also symbolize that he will live forever in this terrifying cage created by himself.
Bar."
"Although it is very scary, the plot is really good, especially the performance is great, and Linmu Studio has done a good job in the details. At 14 minutes and 20 seconds, there is a medical certificate in the lower left corner. I wonder if you have read it?
It seems like the main character has mental illness, so everything makes sense."
"Actually, my wife is also mentally ill..."
Players who knew the game "Shadow" because of the "Special Summer Promotion" flocked to the video.
While denouncing Lin Mu Studio, he watched the video nervously.
And see the end.
Even players who denounce Linmu Studio have to admit that the setting of this game is indeed very interesting, and it has created many... very interesting concepts, such as the inner and outer world, and the psychological cage.
At the end of the game, the protagonist in the horror world walked into the fog, and the scene returned to reality, but he was sitting in the cell looking out the window with a dazed expression.
Players all have a hearty feeling.
A scary story with a beginning and an end.
This is probably the first feeling of players.
Horror movies, horror games.
Since it exists, there must be an audience.
It is human nature to pursue excitement.
Mou Feng’s video weakened the horror of playing the game directly, and coupled with the popularity brought by the ‘Summer Special Promotion’, it became an instant hit.
That night it made it onto the homepage rankings of the largest domestic video website.
It also made many video authors see the potential of "Shadow".
They all recorded live performances of this game.
Players may not be able to play on their own, but when they see the video author screaming in fear, they always feel a sense of pleasure for some reason...
Especially players who have seen other live performances and know what is scary.
I’m really looking forward to the vlogger’s reaction.
It is also the player's mentality that makes the live video playback volume very good.
This has led to more and more video creators recording the game "Shadow"...
Finally a closed loop is formed.
The game became popular out of nowhere.
Although... there are still not many people playing. Many people took advantage of the summer special promotion to buy the game, and then just put it aside to watch others play without touching it themselves.
